Second update,

...

Chu Yunxuan immediately revealed a bit of news to Qin Fang with a cheerful smile.

Qin Fang hadn't expected that Helen, the beauty, was actually half a fellow villager; no wonder her skin wasn't white like that of Caucasians but rather a bit wheat-colored.

Of course, this wasn't without the effect of sunbathing, but upon close observation, there was still a bit of the Yellow race's skin tone, which actually looked quite nice on a mixed-race person.

Despite this, Qin Fang still shook his head with a wry smile. He wouldn't take Chu Yunxuan's words seriously—such a lady with her background was not someone he could bring down.

Moreover, Qin Fang already had enough women in his life. Just bumping into her earlier had given him quite a headache; he dared not imagine what the scene would be like if Tang Feifei and the others bumped into Chu Yunxuan and Fan Ning.

It is often said that beauties are the most likely to stir up conflicts and feel uneasy about each other… Yet, the scene before him evidently did not unfold that way. The four outstanding beauties quickly became one group and began happily discussing topics of their interest.

Without a doubt, they were discussing beauty and skincare, topics that Qin Fang certainly couldn't chime in on.

Even though all four beauties were naturally gorgeous and at the age of their prime beauty, what women worry about the most is the gradual loss of their youthful days…

Chu Yunxuan and Helen both held doctorates in pharmacology, and they had conducted much research on various drugs. Additionally, Chu Yunxuan was a doctor with excellent medical skills, and Helen's family owned a globally recognized pharmaceutical company—her research in this field was exceedingly profound.

With these two professionals there to chat, it didn't take many minutes for the four women to get along quite well, and had Qin Fang not known they had just met, anyone else would have thought they were long-time friends.

"Qin Fang, come with me for a moment…"

Although he still held a favorable impression of Chu Yunxuan and they spoke quite congenially, plus Chu Yunxuan had intentionally befriended the two beauties, Ning Yumo found nothing inappropriate and even quickly became good friends with Chu Yunxuan and Helen.

But that didn't stop Ning Yumo from calling Qin Fang over, and at an opportune moment, she pulled him aside.

"Sister Ning, what's up?"

Qin Fang felt a bit uneasy inside. He speculated that Sister Ning probably wanted to talk to him about Chu Yunxuan. Ning Yumo had long been aware of his several girlfriends and hadn't said much about it, as she knew very well that in the end, the only one Qin Fang would marry would certainly be Tang Feifei.

But every time she met with Qin Fang, she would discover that there seemed to be another woman by his side, especially this time… Qin Fang had attended this gathering as her, Ning Yumo's, "boyfriend," and most of her classmates were already aware of this news. Yet along the way, Chu Yunxuan appeared, which was somewhat embarrassing for her.

"What are you afraid of? Guilty conscience?"

Looking at the Qin Fang in front of her, compared to when she first met him six months ago, his body was noticeably more robust, but the temperament on his face hadn't changed much. The biggest change was that Qin Fang's eyes were now filled with confidence.

"Not at all!"

Qin Fang said with an embarrassed smile, actually feeling a bit guilty.

It wasn't because of the other women, but mainly because facing Ning Yumo, he needed to lower his head to see her face clearly, given his height. However, this brought his line of sight straight in line with the deep, bottomless ravine.

Ning Yumo had an excellent figure and particularly fair skin, which, coupled with her black gown, made her look like an angel fallen to earth, irresistibly prompting the urge to get closer.

Shifting his gaze slightly from Ning Yumo's proud peaks to her delicate and rosy lips, at some point, he had tasted her flavor… which was quite exquisite, like that of fine wine, making him want to savor it once more.

"Uh… thinking crooked!"

Qin Fang immediately stole a glance at Ning Yumo, hoping she hadn't noticed his shift in demeanor. Qin Fang had always held Ning Yumo in high regard and truly did not dare have any disrespectful thoughts...

"This… remember this?"

Qin Fang had not only gone off on a tangent but had gone far too astray. Ning Yumo had called him over not to discuss that but to take out a thin Silver Needle and wave it in front of Qin Fang.

"This… Is this a needle?"

Qin Fang was taken aback for a moment, looking at the Silver Needle before him with a puzzled expression, wondering what Ning Yumo meant.

Such needles were used in Acupuncture and could be bought at any ordinary pharmacy; they weren't anything out of the ordinary, which was why Qin Fang felt puzzled.

"This Silver Needle is for Acupuncture, I suppose you're not unfamiliar with it…"

Ning Yumo shook the needle and then said.

Qin Fang also nodded his understanding, of course, he knew because he himself was carrying several hundred such needles on him right now...

Wait, the style of this needle...

Qin Fang suddenly froze for a moment. The silver needle before him was almost identical to the ones Qin Fang commonly used. Although they were all casually bought from pharmacies, they were identical in size and length, which was enough to raise suspicions.

Especially since... Ning Yumo had deliberately brought such a needle in front of Qin Fang... There was definitely something to be said about that.

"A few days ago, there was a shooting case that caused a big stir among the police, and it even shook the government at both the provincial and city levels..." Ning Yumo didn't mention the matter of the needle, but instead talked about the shooting.

As soon as Qin Fang heard this, he knew it must be about the murder of Song Gang, but he didn't feel it was appropriate to say too much. He simply nodded subtly, signaling Ning Yumo to continue.

"The victim was called Song Gang, an international fugitive. You've seen his photo before, before you left for Xishu Province..."

Ning Yumo continued to speak. The Song Gang case was still confidential at this stage; ordinarily, she shouldn't have discussed it with Qin Fang, but Ning Yumo did regardless.

"Indeed, I've seen it. I remember he seemed to have an accomplice called... Cao Chun! Yes, Cao Chun..."

Qin Fang vaguely sensed that Ning Yumo had a hidden message in telling him this, but he didn't want Ning Yumo to be in a difficult position. Naturally, he wouldn't reveal the truth that he, Qin Fang, was the killer. He had no choice but to feign ignorance.

"Keep pretending... keep on pretending..."

While Qin Fang played dumb, Ning Yumo really rolled her eyes and laughed with contempt.

"Enough, stop pretending. I've known for a long time that you were the killer... This silver needle was taken from the body of that security guard; it's the only evidence left at the scene! Many people are aware of the incident where you dealt with Ye Xiang using one of your needles. As soon as I saw this needle, I knew it was your doing! Here, put it away yourself..."

Qin Fang was about to continue the act, but Ning Yumo directly exposed his charade and grasped Qin Fang's hand, placing the silver needle in his palm and gently closing his fingers.

Given the turn of events, Qin Fang recalled how he had indeed sealed the security guard's acupoints with a silver needle. Qin Fang had planned to release the guard after succeeding, but developments exceeded his expectations. With the police arriving quickly and no time to spare, he didn't manage to do so...

Back when Ye Xiang became vegetative due to a silver needle from Qin Fang, Ye Heng, the then city police chief, had desperately sought medical help to no avail. In the end, they had to turn to the one who tied the bell to untie it, which meant asking Qin Fang to come and save Ye Xiang.

It was after that incident Qin Fang's silver needles became famous in Ninghai. Even Elder Ma, a Medical Grandmaster, had expressed considerable admiration for Qin Fang's Nine Revival Needles technique.

But it was this very needle that betrayed Qin Fang this time, revealing that Song Gang had died by his hand.

"But..."

Qin Fang did not admit it, but neither did he deny it. He just looked at the needle in his hand, surprised, trying to understand what Ning Yumo meant by doing all this.

This was a piece of evidence from the crime scene, and Ning Yumo's actions were tantamount to destroying evidence, clearly crossing legal boundaries.

"Don't worry, I've got it all under control..."

However, Ning Yumo shook her head with a nonchalant expression and continued.

She herself didn't quite understand why she had done it. When she found this piece of evidence, her immediate thought was of Qin Fang. She had almost instinctively hidden the needle away, and none of her colleagues at the police were aware of it...

Of course, with just this needle, Ning Yumo could be convinced that Qin Fang was the killer, but the actual evidence was far from enough.

When Qin Fang killed Song Gang, he deliberately didn't avoid the cameras. Instead, he let the cameras capture a face that was actually the face of one of Li Rui's underlings. Qin Fang had knocked out the underling and left him in the villa's garage while the real killer — Qin Fang — drove straight out.

So when the police checked the surveillance footage, they were immediately dumbfounded, unable to understand what had happened...

"Also... don't be so reckless next time. It's too dangerous!"

Ning Yumo softly reminded him again. Her voice was quiet, but the concern in her words was obvious.

"Sister Ning..."

Looking at Ning Yumo's stunning face, the worry in her eyes, and the extent to which she had gone for him, Qin Fang really didn't know what to say.

Perhaps it was at that moment, a tremor went through Qin Fang's heart, or perhaps his mind suddenly surged with blood. Without any hesitation, he reached out and pulled Ning Yumo's perfect body into his arms. He hugged her tight, as if he wanted to completely merge her into his body...(To be continued.
